About Venom Supplies
We are scientists serving scientists. Venom Supplies (powered by Latoxan S.A.S., established 1982 in Portes-lès-Valence, France) was founded to bridge the gap between raw venom diversity and the rigorous, reproducible reagents that modern neuroscience, pharmacology, and drug discovery programmes demand.
Our Mission
To accelerate biomedical discovery by providing venoms, toxins, and engineered peptides characterised to the highest analytical standards—while upholding ethical sourcing, animal welfare, and European regulatory excellence.
Our Heritage & European Base
Venom Supplies emerged from a clear commitment: biological researchers requiring venom reagents deserve authentic, reproducible, and fully documented materials. Operating under the scientific heritage of Latoxan S.A.S.—pioneering venomics and natural substance isolation since 1982 in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France—our teams combine deep taxonomic authentication with modern analytical spectroscopy.
We assembled a specialised team of toxinologists, analytical chemists, and electrophysiologists who understand that every data point matters. Our European laboratories ensure that when you open a vial of Venom Supplies toxin, you know precisely what biochemical activity and purity profile to expect.
Today, we partner with leading universities, contract research organisations (CROs), and multinational pharmaceutical companies across the European Union, United Kingdom, Switzerland, and globally—supplying validated reagents that anchor ion channel, pain, cardiovascular, and antivenom development programmes.
Scientific Advisory Team
Our leadership combines deep domain expertise with operational excellence, ensuring every product meets research-grade expectations.
Dr. Marcus Reinholt
Chief Scientific Officer
20+ years in venom proteomics and ion channel pharmacology. Former academic faculty at a leading European research university.
Dr. Ananya Kulkarni
Director of Quality & Compliance
Expertise in analytical chemistry, GLP compliance, and regulatory documentation for biologics and peptide therapeutics.
Dr. Samuel Ortega
Head of Peptide Chemistry

Our Commitments
Scientific Integrity
We document what we ship. COAs include purity data, electrophysiology summaries, and lot-specific annotations, enabling transparent method sections and peer review.
Ethical Sourcing
Our captive-breeding partners operate under veterinary supervision, prioritizing animal welfare and sustainable colony management over short-term yield.
Environmental Responsibility
We minimize environmental impact through concentrated product formats, recyclable packaging, and partnerships with CITES-compliant conservation programs.
